Facts

A twin tower named Two Fountain Place was planned across the street during the 1980s real estate boom. It would have been offset 90° from this tower.

Architect Henry Cobb of I.M. Pei & Partners summarized his design for this building as "geometry pursued with rigor". Based on the diagonal of a double square, it is a subtractive form, "what's left after carving into a square prism.".

The elevators go to the 62nd floor; a stairway leads up to a 63rd floor for mechanical equipment and storage.

The architects were recognized with an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1990.
